new skimmer question

Reefing newb
after installing a new skimmer, does it take a few days to really start producing a good foamy froth?

im getting good air and bubbles but no skimate yet, but its only been a day
 
Sure,it can take awhile like reefgyrl said.Skimmers need a ''break in'' period,sometimes up to two weeks before producing skimmate,sometimes they produce waste right away.Also,the quality of the skimmer and how long the microbubbles are in contact time plays a role.
 
Looks like it should be a pretty good skimmer.
But like everybody already said,Give it a couple of weeks to break in good.
